Bad Habit Blues Lyrics by Deadly Gentlemen

Carry Me to Home

0

(G. Liszt, inspired by the Cocaine Habit Blues, public domain)
Daylight in the downtown
Feels so plain
So I’m going to find my gal
She deals cocaine
I buy from my baby
It’s becoming a habit
Anytime you got it
I’ll be coming to grab it
I’m ready to get lifted into glory victorious
Believe in heaven and those storied euphorias
Give me the sinful life
Where night be the day
I want to go young
I’m thinking it might be the way
Times are tough but they go on
I’m down now but I won’t be so long
Oh. No
Out of the gate like a stallion at a racing track
To the mountain to the valley and to space and back
I’ve got a one-way ticket
And I’m flying too quickly
But it’s tough to kick it
It’s trying to trick me
Meddling in my brain
Playing a mind game
It told me that it would kill me
But it gave no timeframe
So I’m back
Coming around the corner
High on cocaine
Loping and feeling no pain
Times are tough but the burden light
Times are tough but I’m a bird in flight
I’m coming up and around the corner high
I’ve been up and I’ve been down
And a guy’s born to die
But every time I cross that uptown boundary
Some beat cop billy club’s
Up and down pounding me
If you’re going to help me be real cautious
Things I do make me feel nauseous
I wake up in the day feeling broken and bad
But there’s bourbon in the bottle and the coke in the bag
Times are tough but they go on
I’m down now but I won’t be so long
Times are tough but the burden light
Times are tough but I’m a bird in flight
